I have problem with installin Rocket.Chat server on ElementaryOS.
I try to unpack tgz file, but getting error.
Listing:
sudo apt-get install npm curl graphicsmagick
curl -L http://rocket.chat/releases/latest/download/ -o rocket.chat.tgz
tar zxvf rocket.chat.tgz
And after last command I get this error:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I try file rocket.chat.tgz:
rocket.chat.tgz: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text
Instead use this url:
curl -L https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/download -o rocket.chat.tgz

I'm trying to download a tar.gz file from a github repo with curl, but it's evidently downloading plain ASCII and so I can't unzip or untar the file (as evidenced by the file command - see the third line of my stack trace below).
One other important detail is that this is running inside an AWS CodeBuild instance. However, I can download this with curl just fine on my mac and it is a proper tar.gz file.
Here's the command I'm running:
curl -Lk0s https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.49/hugo_0.49_Linux-64bit.tar.gz -o /tmp/hugo.tar.gz
The full stack trace is:

What am I doing wrong here?
-L works for me:
curl -L https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.49/hugo_0.49_Linux-64bit.tar.gz -o /tmp/hugo.tar.gz
I tried it without any flags first and it downloaded the redirection page.
Added -L to follow redirects and the result was a well-formed, complete .tar.gz file that decompressed perfectly. The result was a folder with a few files in it:
$ ls -l
total 41704
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxxxxxxxxxx staff 11357 Sep 24 05:54 LICENSE
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxxxxxxxxxx staff 6414 Sep 24 05:54 README.md
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xxxxxxxxxxx staff 21328256 Sep 24 06:03 hugo
UPDATE: I didn't at first try your set of params (-Lk0s) assuming it wouldn't work for me either. But I just now tried it and it works for me. I get the same .tar.gz that I got with -L and it decompresses accurately. Please cat the contents of the text file that gets downloaded and show at least some of it here. It's probably an error of some sort being sent back as plain text or html.
This is the first time I am using wkhtmltopdf.
Works fine on my Windows local pc, but I can't make it work on the live Linux shared host server.
I tried all kinds of solutions I found on google but nothing works.
I am a windows user, so I don't know anything about Linux, but I do have SSH access to the host server and the host confirmed that this is the right file to use on their server.
First I got the file, and then I tried to extract it with no success:
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar xvjf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar -xvjf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar xvJf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar (child): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
So I extracted the file on my local windows machine.
I manually created these folders on the host server:
usr/local/bin.
I uploaded the 2 binaries files from my local machine to this bin folder.
And I tried a few ways to test it:
./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com example.pdf
-bash: ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64: No such file or directory
/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com ex.pdf
-bash: /wkhtmltopdf-amd64: No such file or directory
./wkhtmltopdf http://www.example.com ex.pdf
-bash: ./wkhtmltopdf: No such file or directory
/wkhtmltopdf http://www.example.com ex.pdf
-bash: /wkhtmltopdf: No such file or directory
Please, can someone help me make this work?
Make sure wkhtmltopdf binary has executable permission. Assuming you have copied them into /usr/local/bin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
then run
/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf --version
I'm using amazon web services for the first time, I'm using the ec2 Amazon Linux instance for this. What I want to do is, I want to install PhpmyAdmin over there, so for that first of all I have already installed php, mysql and apache. After that I was trying to install phpmyAdmin. So for that I fired following commands:
cd /var/www/html
sudo chown ec2-user
wget http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/3.4.1/phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages.tar.bz2
So after this I tried to extract phpmyadmin with following command
tar -jxf phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages-tar.bz2 -C /var/www/html
After firing that command I got the following errors:
tar (child): phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages-tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Please help me out with this :-). Every comments and helps are appreciated :-). Thanks in advance.
Have you tried adding ./ before the filename to indicate the file is located in the current directory?
tar -jxf ./phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages-tar.bz2 -C /var/www/html
tar -jxf phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages.tar.bz2
This command worked.
I tried to extract the tar.bz2 file in Fedora 17 OS. I used the command:
# tar -xvjf myfile.tar.bz2
I received this error message:
tar (child):bzip2: Cannot exec :Nosuch of file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exitng now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar:Error is not recoverable: exitng now
How can I resolve this?
Ensure that you have the bzip2 and bzip2-libs RPMs installed.
It looks like the tar command defers to the bzip2 command which the bzip2 RPM provides (/usr/bin/bzip2). In your case, tar specifically tries to call bzip2 -d to decompress the bzipped archive.
Also, a couple of tips:
The -v option is not necessary. It just gives verbose output, which means that it lists the files that were extracted from the archive. Most of the time this prints useless data to your terminal.
As #Skynet said, it is helpful to run the file command on your bzip2 archive to ensure that it is actually in bzip2 format.
As #Odin said, it appears that you don't need to specify the -j option when extracting the archive, as the tar command seems to be smart enough to figure this out.
I solved it using:
aptitude install bzip2
I found the same error as you in CentOS 7. It looks like this:
tar -jxvf target_gile.tar.bz2
<br>tar (child): bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
<br>tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
<br>tar: Child returned status 2
<br>tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Then I installed bzip2 package : yum install bzip2
After that, I extracted again using this command: tar -jxvf target_gile.tar.bz2
You may need to install the bzip2 on your system.
yum -y install bzip2
I got the same problem . I have two server.
A: CentOS 7.6 Min install
B: Fedora 29 Workstation
On B:create a tarball with:
tar -jcvf XXX.tar.bz2 /Path_to_my_dir
Then scp this tarball to A server to decrompress it, but when I want to decompression it I got the same error.Finally it turns out that, tar could work with bzip2 but you have to install it first .
This worked for my file:
binutils-2.15.tar.bz2 (Found at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/)
bunzip2 your-tar-file.tar.bz2
Your file now looks like this:
your-tar-file.tar
tar xvf your-tar-file.tar
File will finish extracting
First you need to install lbzip2 package:
yum install lbzip2
then untar the file
tar file.tar.bz2
Regards
You can extract either tar.gz or tar.bz2 with this command:
tar -xvf ~/sometar.tar.bz2
this error come also if you use some wrong alias in your .bashrc/.zshrc as:
alias tar='tar -cf'
when you execute in terminal
$ tar -xf file.tar
it's been
$ tar -cf -xf file.tar
tar (child):bzip2: Cannot exec :Nosuch of file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exitng now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar:Error is not recoverable: exitng now
so, you should not use an alias for tar or do
$ unalias tar
$ tar -xf file.tar
For bz2 you need to execute like this,
tar -jxvf
Alternatively, you can also execute like this
bunzip2 myfile.tar.bz2
For more information you should check it,
tar --help
If in doubt, run file on the archive to make sure it actually is compressed in bz2 format.
when I untar doctrine
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 660252 2010-10-16 23:06 Doctrine-1.2.0.tgz
I always get this error messages
root#X100e:/usr/local/lib/Doctrine/stable# tar -xvzf Doctrine-1.2.0.tgz
.
.
.
Doctrine-1.2.0/tests/ViewTestCase.php
Doctrine-1.2.0/CHANGELOG
gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
Doctrine-1.2.0/COPYRIGHT
Doctrine-1.2.0/LICENSE
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The untar operation works, but I always get this error messages.
Any clues what I do wrong?
I would try to unzip and untar separately and see what happens:
mv Doctrine-1.2.0.tgz Doctrine-1.2.0.tar.gz
gunzip Doctrine-1.2.0.tar.gz
tar xf Doctrine-1.2.0.tar
It's possible your tar file is not zipped. I just had this same error, but all I had was a plain old tar file. So try just removing the z from your flags. The z flag unzips your tar file as well as whatever other commands you requested with other flags. i.e. try:
tar -xvf Doctrine-1.2.0.tgz
Notice I removed the z from -xvzf
If you got "Error is not recoverable: exiting now" You might have specified incorrect path references.
[me#host ~]$ tar -xvf nameOfMyTar.tar -C /someSubDirectory/
tar: /someSubDirectory: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[me#host ~]$
Make sure you provide correct relative or absolute directory references e.g.:
[me#host ~]$ tar -xvf ./nameOfMyTar.tar -C ./someSubDirectory/
./foo/
./bar/
[me#host ~]$
Try to get your archive using wget, I had the same issue when I was downloading archive through browser. Than I just copy archive link and in terminal use the command:
wget http://PATH_TO_ARCHIVE
The problem is that you do not have bzip2 installed. The tar program relies upon this external program to do compression.
For installing bzip2, it depends on the system you are using. For example, with Ubuntu that would be on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install bzip2
The GNU tar program does not know how to compress an existing file such as user-logs.tar (bzip2 does that). The tar program can use external compression programs gzip, bzip2, xz by opening a pipe to those programs, sending a tar archive via the pipe to the compression utility, which compresses the data which it reads from tar and writes the result to the filename which the tar program specifies.
Alternatively, the tar and compression utility could be the same program. BSD tar does its compression using lib archive (they're not really distinct except in name).
use sudo
sudo tar -zxvf xxxxxxxxx.tar.gz
Error messages
Easy way to fix this issue
First Remove files
Download file again
Extract file again ( tar -xzvf(or -xvf) FreeFileSync**.tar.gz
Had the same error code:
tar -xvfz processed.json.gz
tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Turned out the file had the .gz extension but wasn't compressed. Just removed the .gz and opened it.
